Chris Roberts has announced that his company, Cloud Imperium, has raised over $2M in funding required to complete Star Citizen. Added to Star Citizen's original Cloud Source funding, the game maker has surpassed $2M goal.

“The amount of support from our fans has been overwhelming,” Roberts said. “We had a few hiccups on our own site in the first week of operation, which led us to open up the Kickstarter page. Kickstarter provided better scalability for us and additional options for our fans. In the end, this is all about breathing new life into the PC games business. PC gamers have been left on the sidelines for the last few years. I want to utilize all the new technology that a PC can provide and bring space sims back into the modern area with a bang.

This look awesome, in the future, I would love the ability to MAKE my own ship in game, and i'm talking a big vast customization and requirements to make a ship, I'm litterly talking a space ship construction simulation. The More I play, the more I unlock to customize my ships that I made.

I'm keeping my eye on this one for sure. It's good to see that they've met their Kickstarter goal. I just subscribed back to EVE but took a break because I was looking for something a bit more (More I know right)..

One of my issues with EVE was always about the explorations and development of the game outside of just the spaceships themselves. The world of EVE Online is very, very authentic and rich, I would love to see how the world would be constructed and feel if it was taken a step further.

Not completely sure if Star Citizen will reach that feeling I'm looking for, but this is the only thing on the horizon right now, that might have even a near chance of competing with EVE as far as space sim goes..

I just hope the self run crowdfunding "hiccup" isn't an omen of things to come. He talks a good talk, but "stuff" happens along the way that may cause the development to turn back down the path that he is currently railing against.

Seriously, if even half of what he's talking about gets implemented at launch, I'm going to have to get an IV and find a way to work from home. I've been waiting for a Freelancer-esque (Too young for wing commander) MMOG for a long time.
